If the Kansas men’s basketball team wins a 14th straight Big 12 title, it won’t be a surprise to the league’s coaches.
The Jayhawks were the unanimous pick Thursday morning to win the conference, picking up all nine available first-place votes. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own schools.
The Jayhawks have won or tied for the regular-season title in 17 of the last 21 seasons. In addition, their current 13-year consecutive league run is tied for first all-time with UCLA, which also won 13 straight from 1967-79.
It’s the sixth straight year KU has been picked to win the league.
